Our challenge this fortnight at Waltzingmouse Fanatics is all about getting more from your sentiments. Clare makes some fabulous sentiment stamps and if you look at all the different sets there is heaps of potential to combine sentiments from different sets to make something extra special from them so that's what we want the fanatics to do - use at least 2 sentiments from 2 different stamps sets. I used more than 2 and came up with this bleeding heart.......

I took lots of love related sentiments and stamped them into a heart I created by inking through a die cut heart frame. The sets I used were:

My Heart

Compact Sentiments Part 2

Compact Sentiments

Country Labels 14

Say it Loud (all year sentiments)

I decided I wanted to go a little grungy - not my normal style but I gave it a good shot! I spritzed my heart with water and did a little spritzing around the edges with a distress marker and my hand spritz tool. I stamped some splatters from "Splat that" and then sprayed some copper shimmer over the top. I finished with the arrows from one of the hearts in My Heart making it fit my bigger heart with masking.
